Hi There,
you should get a careful pelvic exam, CT scan, and pap smear.
ultimately Gyenweth will decide what feels right for her. In the mean time, an open mind and lots of questioning will help you hep that rapidly
Thanks for your response. These symptoms really have me worried, especially with my family history. Then yesterday, out of nowhere I developed a giant cyst in my breast. My hormones must be really out of wack.

Hi there. I have suffered for many years of IBS due to been given meds and for several years have also had, ovarian cysts that haven't bother me much for over a period of 5 years. Now, they have grown more than normal and I have to have surgery. From what I have found out by talking to doctors, in the net and from the ladies in this forum, that in pre-menopausal women they are probably benign. Also, a transvaginal ultrasound and a CA - 125 marker can be done. Even when the marker is elevated it doesn't mean that is necessarily cancer. It's is used to see how women with OVCA have responded to treatment. The only way to know for sure if it's cancer is by doing a biopsy.
There are several ladies in this forum who know a lot more about this and hopefully they would give you a better insight.
Take care,
Neta
